4. No advertising of unprovenanced archaeological/cultural goods for sale. Members may post links to specific images (.jpg/.gif) on sale sites, but not the listing or home site itself. If you can show that the item is provenanced or held by a museum/established collector, you may discuss the items for sale. When in doubt, ask a moderator! This policy exists to discourage the trade in illegal antiquities, which destroys countless archaeological sites in the hunt for artifacts.

:whistle: ;-)

Not to drag this off topic, but those items are not for sale, they were sold some time ago. I use the website as a resource of hi resolution images for reference to various Roman pieces. Something most museum can't be bothered to do (post hi-res images). Rarely do people who don't have access to these museums get to see such details on these pieces. A picture is worth a thousand words they say. Anyhow Evan has been in touch, and if the moderators choose to keep the link off that's fine. I'm just trying to help out people making these pieces (so perhaps its more relevant in the recreation section). I personally don't think the rule above applies in this instance anyhow. The pieces posted consist of pieces in the former collection of Axel Guttmann, a well known collector of Roman items which have been listed and discussed many a time on RAT. And as mentioned, they are not for sale and simply a record or catalogue of past sales.

Sorry back on topic. Yes they are all metal
